Pros

company trip fun for the youth industry events (not successful but its something) success within MSP market (not exactly super growth area) if you like race cars, this place is your jam

Cons

- Product is broken. Critical gaps across solution, customers aren't happy and churn is high. No customer support infrastructure - very high turnover. Zero promotions, zero professional development. Instances of people taking demotions to avoid toxic leadership. Lots of red flags for any prospective employees -Toxic, aggressive fear based management style - doesn't work, sales is struggling to hit goals, only incentive is to avoid being called out on regular team wide aggressive emails, slacks, meetings & phone calls every single day. - strategy, vision and mission are muddled and misguided. Fixes are "TBD" - straight up deception, dishonesty and fraudulent claims from leadership during recruitment. Be very careful here - no ability or avenues for feedback. Any questions on state of the business are responded to with threats of termination (toxic)- hence high turnover -Rotating Fridays off are "optional" so more deceit there - weak use cases -Where are the adults in the room? Toxic workplace simply not acceptable in this day, easily avoidable too -dysfunctional environments, lots of politics, backstabbing and undermining across business units (never seen it this bad before, ever)

Pros

I had an outstanding experience with DNSFilter from start to finish. The interview process was straightforward, transparent, and genuinely enjoyable. Everyone I met was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and excited about the work they’re doing. The onboarding was thorough and well organized, making it easy to feel set up for success right away. The sales team especially stands out — amazing, supportive, friendly, and truly team-oriented. There’s a strong sense of community across the organization, and the office has such a lively, positive energy that makes coming to work something you actually look forward to. I genuinely feel like I’ve found my home here. Couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Cons

Pros

DNSFilter is a place for people who want to be challenged, grow quickly, and make a real impact. The mission is meaningful, the people are smart, and there is a strong culture of candid feedback and continuous improvement. Leadership encourages debate, listens to good ideas regardless of title, and is willing to adapt when presented with better information. Those who embrace the challenge tend to thrive.

Cons

This environment is not for everyone. Expectations are high, accountability matters, and ideas are regularly challenged. People looking for a slower-paced environment or constant validation may find the culture uncomfortable. Like any growing company, there are growing pains and changes in priorities as the business scales.
